Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the Smith Mountain Lake Civitan Club for including our Legion with the other amazing charities in your “give back to our community” program!

Wow, Red Jax knocked it out of the park for us last night! After each of our meetings (held on the second Tuesday of the month), we head out to a local restaurant to socialize and also support our local businesses. Red Jax just opened last week at Bridgewater (on the back, lower level of the building nearest the condos) and they not only welcomed us with open arms but also prepared and donated charcuterie boards for us! We love businesses that support the veteran community and we thank them for a wonderful night!

THIS IS OUR MISSION!

To respect the privacy of the veterans we help, we don’t post specifics. But we would like to share the story of Charlie. We became aware of Charlie because he was homeless and sleeping in his car at the Kroger shopping center for six weeks. Charlie served in the Army and Navy as a Combat Camara man and, like many veterans, struggled over the years.

We immediately mobilized and helped Charlie find housing. We helped him navigate the VA for benefits, and we embraced him at the Legion.

Tragically, Charlie was killed in a car accident on Good Friday 2026. We know that we helped to make the last year of Charlie’s life better for him. We held a small memorial for him this week at the site of our veteran transitional trailers.

We will love them till the COWS COME HOME!! Thank you to the Recreation Development of Franklin County Inc. for gifting the American Legion with a whopping $6,000 donation from proceeds of their Cow Pie Bingo event at Hot Shots recently!! When you see this event come up, please do yourself a favor and go - it’s a great time and they do great things for our community! Thank you so much!

We were so honored to help shuttle visitors at the Smith Mountain Lake W**e Festival this past weekend! What a great event that is owned and operated by Hook, Lines, and Singers, a non-profit dedicated to helping local and national songwriters showcase their talents while providing a venue to raise money for charities.

Keep an eye out for our Legion members this weekend at the SML W**e Festival! The weather will be beautiful and we will help shuttle you from the parking lot to the event!
